    Greetings,
    I got hit by this guy a while back. He advertised 6 Colt Officers model mags. I paid around $60.00 for the lot, and lo and behold, not one of the mags had the colt logo on them. I emailed the guy and got nowhere, and eventually pitched the mags since they were such ****. Once again, you get what you pay for. I think I will just stick to getting my Wilson mags from Wilson.

    Ebay won't do anything about this seller , because he is one of their power sellers with almost 9000 feedbacks. These are the people that has made Ebay rich and they won't hurt the hand that feeds them.

    I still wonder how this guy can get so many positive feedback points if he is selling the kind of junk that is being described here. I am hesisant to bid on any of his items because of what has been written, but how can there be that many people who like his stuff?

    You could buy from him one time and form your own opinion and if you get ripped don't buy again. Like Gomer Pyle said fool me once shame on you, fool me twice and shame on me.

    The answer in my case was simple. I posted my feedback when I received the goods and they LOOKED OK. It wasn't until a week after that I found out how poor the mags were!.

    I bought what he e-mailed me as oem HK 45 usp mags, I knew they where not but for the price I like to have some extras. He did ship me new pro-mag usp 45 hicaps. They do work well. I have plenty of factory hicaps but only bring them out when needed. I would not trust him again but I gather anyone getting to my post aftewr all the rest would have figured that out.
